A
game based on World War II? Finally! How long do we
WWII fans have to wait? I mean, come on already! I
can't get enough of good old World War II.

Okay
that was enough concentrated sarcasm for one day.
Heroes of the Pacific isn't like those other WWII
games though - it's not a FPS. It's an aerial combat
game and I have to concur that this particular genre
has not been well represented on the consoles during
any point in videogame history.

Heroes
of the Pacific begins on December 7, 1941, with the
attack on Pearl Harbor and lets the player participate
in the most memorable battles of the Pacific campaign
including Wake Island, Midway and the Coral Sea. For
the first time players will experience the epic scope
of the battles, placing hundreds of planes on the
screen in a single confrontation.

Heroes
of the Pacific features six game modes and more than
35 upgradeable WWII aircraft, a compelling story through
the war, and arcade and professional controls, as
well as a workshop to customize the planes weapon
loadout and plane setup.

Ubisoft
is pleased to bring gamers the intense dogfighting
experience of Heroes of the Pacific, said James
Regan, director of new business development at Ubisoft.
The realistic and historical environments recreated
in this game will launch players into the action-packed
skies of the Pacific as if they were part of history
themselves.

More
than 150 planes fighting on-screen, each with full

Iwo Jima.
